In reverse order, this trace is most certainly
drivers/ieee1394/ohci1394.c::ohci_irq_handler
drivers/ieee1394/highlevel.c::highlevel_host_reset
drivers/ieee1394/highlevel.c::nodemgr_highlevel.host_reset
== nodemgr_host_reset
kernel/sched.c::wake_up_process(hi->thread);
with hi->thread being the kthread which executes
drivers/ieee1394/nodemgr.c::nodemgr_host_thread of the ieee1394 core driver.
The ieee1394 core has two (or more) threads: One nodemgr_host_thread
alias [knodemgrd_*] for each card, and one hpsbpkt_thread alias
[khpsbpkt] for all cards. The knodemgrd should be frozen during suspend
or hibernate, while khpsbpkt should not be frozen in order to let
transactions to go on in the case of saving the hibernation image to a
FireWire disk.
Quoting your other post:

Sbp2's host_reset handler would do something if it was loaded even
without any SBP-2 devices attached,but it wouldn't under any
circumstances call try_to_wake_up. Actually with no devices attached it
would simply "iterate" over an empty list.

Both of these went in during the merge window between 2.6.22 and 2.6.23-rc1.
The bug could have been introduced by a change outside of the ieee1394
subsystem, like freezer or scheduler. The try_to_wake_up in your
backtrace would be directed towards a thread which should be frozen at
some point.
